Jaya The Cat - Government Center lyrics

rate me

Caught the twelve thirty from ashmont station<br />

32 ounces with the rum mixed in<br />

God knows I need it with the way I've been living<br />

Self medicated, chemical salvation<br />

Afternoon show up at central station<br />

When the music hits I don't feel no pain<br />

Now I'm outside in the cold again trying to find my way<br />

<br />

The sun is setting in the combat zone<br />

The streets are empty all the bars are closed<br />

And I'm walking thru government center<br />

Trying to find my way back home<br />

<br />

Dodging the cops at the ATMs<br />

Three third hand suits and a record collection<br />

From late night raids on the salvation army bins<br />

Whatever god I pray to must be broke as me<br />

Got a busted 4 track and a dead end job<br />

Up at the downs on friday trying to make it pay off<br />

On a twelve to one, but I got shut out<br />

Man I'd be late to my own fuckin' funeral<br />

Read the headlines passing out of town news<br />

Says the world is still fucked and run by fools<br />

And it don't seem to matter which drugs you use<br />

It still turns out the same<br />

<br />

This record spins the same old song<br />

The speaker's blown and the needle's worn<br />

Don't matter nothing in the end<br />

They say when you leave<br />

You can never go home again.
